Staff from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission will
conduct a workshop on Jan. 16 for the Ada County customers of the Brian Water
Corporation.

The water company is seeking commission approval of a rate
increase from $10.50 per month for the first 4,000 gallons used to $15 per
month. The rate for consumption of more than 4,000 gallons would remain the
same at $1.08 for every 1,000 gallons.

The water company serves nearly 50 households in the Brian
Park Subdivision, east of Boise along State Highway 21. The company claims it
has incurred $12,000 in additional repair expenses and increased electric rates
and will need additional funds to replace aging meters.

Commission staff members will explain the company’s
application to those attending the workshop and allow customers and other
interested parties to ask questions of commission staff. Representatives of the
company may also be on hand to answer questions.

The workshop will begin at 7 p.m., Jan. 16, in the
commission hearing room at 472 W. Washington St. in Boise.

Customers can also submit written
comments on the company’s application by no later than Jan. 24. Comments are
accepted via e-mail by accessing the commission’s homepage at www.puc.idaho.gov and clicking on
"Comments & Questions." Fill in the case number (BRN-W-07-01) and
enter your comments. Comments can also be mailed to P.O. Box 83720, Boise, ID
83720-0074 or faxed to (208) 334-3762.
